System Components

• Web Client: Provides a user-friendly web interface for domain registration and management. It communicates with the Web Server via REST APIs.

• Web Server: Handles domain management logic and serves as an intermediary between the Web Client and the database. It exposes REST APIs to the Web Client and utilizes a custom TCP socket-based protocol to communicate with the database.

• Database: A minimal, document-oriented, agnostic database that stores data as unprocessed strings. It communicates with the Web Server via TCP sockets.

Compilation and Execution

Using Visual Studio Code:

• Client Web: VS Code live server
• Server Web: Open a new terminal and run mvn jetty:run
• Database: Open a new terminal and run mvn compile first, then mvn exeec:java

Ports and addresses

The web server listens to the localhost address on port 8080. The database listens to the same address as the web server but on port 3030.
